Wow, we are almost to August... I don't know about you, but it feels like summer is flying by! However, it's not too late to pick up a new book. Whether you have a trip planned and want some vacation reading material or enjoy listening to audiobooks while you do something enjoyable such as garden or walk outside, here are some recommendations to add to your toolbox as you work on all things related to your relationship to food, movement, self-care or body image. (For more book ideas, visit these previous blog posts Non-Diet Gift Ideas and Summer Reading Recommendations!)
